13" just seems so tiny...

I don't think so. It's an upgrade. Cool so long as you don't have to make major mods to the cabinet.

Found a Moon Patrol cocktail for sale on eBay with a 19" monitor in it. The cab is slightly different as well. Wonder if the 19" one started life as a Robotron...? Anyway here is the comparison pic with a 19" vs the 13" bezel in mine:

I made a replica Moon Patrol full-sized Mame cab recently, but I have never messed with the cocktails at all. Yours looks good, though, If I may, I suggest keeping it original and restoring it as it was intended from the factory.

If the Moon Patrol board set doesn't work I can fix it for you. I have one here that I repaired and I picked up an original dedicated upright cabinet at the last Superauctions.com auction in Dallas to put it in.

Sweet, I'll keep that in mind Channel! I am a ways away from tackling the electrical side of things - need to complete the aesthetic restoration first then tackle the monitor and boardset. In fact still need to find a monitor to drop in there; most likely a 13"...
